Setting the Paper Rolls in the Printer According to the Intended Use

• When automatically switching from paper roll 1 to paper roll 2 to match the paper size specified for the print job

  Set two paper rolls of the same type of paper but of different width on the upper and on the lower trays.

  Example of how to set the paper

  Paper-feeding tray	Roll Width	Media Type
  Upper-level	24 in Roll (609.6mm)	Plain Paper
  Lower-level	A1/A2 Roll (594.0mm)	Plain Paper

• When automatically switching from paper roll 1 to paper roll 2 role to match the paper type specified for the print job

  Set two paper rolls of the same width but of different types of paper on the upper and on the lower trays.
  Alternatively, set two paper rolls of different width and different types of paper on the upper and on the lower trays.

  Setting the paper (Example 1)

  Paper-feeding tray	Roll Width	Media Type
  Upper-level	A1/A2 Roll (594.0mm)	Plain Paper
  Lower-level	A1/A2 Roll (594.0mm)	Canon Coated Paper

  Setting the paper (Example 2)

  Paper-feeding tray	Roll Width	Media Type
  Upper-level	24 in Roll (609.6mm)	Plain Paper
  Lower-level	A1/A2 Roll (594.0mm)	Canon Coated Paper

  Important

  • 2-level roll switching is not possible when the paper rolls being fed on the platen are not compatible with automatic cut-off. For checking which types of paper are compatible with automatic cut-off, look up the paper you want to use on the "Paper Information List."

  Note

  • For information on how to set the paper rolls in the printer, see "Handling rolls"
  • When rolls of different types of paper and of different width are set in the upper and lower trays, the paper roll matching the type of paper specified for the print job will be used.
    Depending on the settings, an error may occur causing the wrong paper roll to be used; in such cases, it is recommended that, instead of using 2-level roll switching, you specify which one is best between paper roll 1 and paper roll 2 and print.
